Liam don't start with that mid-life crisis ponytail comment again! Didn't we already discuss it on the old forum? And then it just went on and on and got really disturbingly obsessive.

No, that was the much more popular "Vegeta has a receeding hairline" topic. The "Yamcha is having a mid-life crisis and has grown a pony-tail" topic is a new one.

I win!

Yes, but you did throw it into the conversation did you not? Maybe that was another one....Oh dear Lord, I'm discussing the hair topics again! Must stop now!

Now see: If I was on all the time, posting, I would know what's going on. But hair in DragonBall? Ouch!
Hey look, it's a signature!

Well, hair in anime is pretty...notable anyway. But when you've got Yamcha and Bulma in your line up, every day is hair discussion day!

But Kuririn doesn't have a nose... How many humans in the DB world lack noses? Just his daughter, and she magically grows one later on.

Yes, but Kuririn isn't the only character in DB who doesn't have a nose, and in a few episodes they actually say he's human. But I've never heard anyone call Tenshinhan human.

true but they've never called Tenshinhand ANYTHING, so you're just assuming.

I assume nothing...I just stated he's never called human, while Yamcha and Kuririn are.

I don't have the daizenshuu in front of me, now, but there's no distinction made between "Earthlings" and "Humans"; but from what I remember, all of the characters in question are listed under the "Earthlings" section.

They are.
Humans: 75%
Animals: 17%
Monsters (has a picture of Pilaf): 7%
Half-breeds (half-saiyans): 1%

Freaky how I'm making that part of my site as I stumble on this msg.

The book sold the most all around the world is the bible. I think every home should have daizenshuu 7 instead. :D

Half-Saiyans make up 1% of the planet? Then those constant attacks really have taken their toll on the overal population level.

DAMN Toriyama for drawing Kame-Senin in a teddy! Now I can't ever bring myself to wear women's lingerie again! It's a good thing he died of a heart attack! Or was shot in the heart, I forget. Or was he on one of the 911 planes?
That coulda been sarcasm, there, but just in case it wasn't:

He was indeed being sarcastic Jedi. We were joking around the other night about all the stupid rumours that kids always argue to you that are true because they don't know enough to see the websites where they read it at are run by "nimrods". :wink: But it's nice that you put the link up anyway, in case someone reading it, takes Dayspring's joke at face value.

Ah, yes, reading that thread now. Funny (well, no... actually, sad) how some people believe everything they see on the internet without considering the source. :roll: I guess that's why we have the Rumor Guide, though (as well as its spiritual parent, Snopes.com). I just wish somebody could get common sense to prevail, for once... :?
